Richard Claude Ratovonarivo

Richard Claude Ratovonarivo is known only for this short film of 1971, which chronologies of Malagasy cinema place among the island's first fiction films, at a time when the public production centre opened in 1969 was training its technicians on the spot. His birth, training, later career and death are not known, and the records give three spellings of his name, Ratovonarivo, Rakotovonarivo and, in Treccani, Ratovoranivo; all that remains of him is this title and this date.
